Privacy Act Statement
Collection and Use of Personal Information
Section 217 (a) through (e) of the Social Security Act and Section 20 of the Code of Federal Regulations 404.1301 through
404.1371, as amended, allow us to collect this information. Furnishing us this information is voluntary. However, failing to provide
all or part of the information could prevent us from making an accurate and timely decision on your claim, and could result in the
loss of benefits.
We will use the information to determine entitlement eligibility or the amount of Social Security benefits based on your military
service. We may also share your information for the following purposes, called routine uses:
• To Federal, State, or local agencies (or agents on their behalf) for administering cash or non-cash income maintenance
or health maintenance programs (including programs under the Social Security Act). Such disclosures include, but are
not limited to, release of information to the Veterans Administration (VA) for administering 38 U.S.C. 412, and upon
request, information needed to determine eligibility for or amount of VA benefits or verifying other information with
respect thereto; and,
• To contractors and other Federal agencies, as necessary, for the purpose of assisting the Social Security
Administration (SSA) in the efficient administration of its programs. We will disclose information under this routine use
only in situations in which SSA may enter a contractual or similar agreement with a third party to assist in
accomplishing an Agency function relating to this system of records.
In addition, we may share this information in accordance with the Privacy Act and other Federal laws. For example, where
authorized, we may use and disclose this information in computer matching programs, in which our records are compared with
other records to establish or verify a person's eligibility for Federal benefit programs and for repayment of incorrect or delinquent
debts under these programs.
A list of additional routine uses is available in our Privacy Act System of Records Notices (SORN), 60-0089, Claims Folders
